loader checks the disk signatures of all of the connected drives, and if it finds two identical
disk signatures, the loader changes the signature of the second disk, which would be the
clone disk. Once this happens, the clone disk would not be able to boot up independently of
the original disk, because the MountedDevices fields in the clone's registry reference the disk
signature of the original disk, which will not be available if the original disk is disconnected.

6.3.5 Selecting a target disk/partition

1. Select a target disk or partition where you want to restore the selected image. You can
restore data to its initial location, to another disk/partition or to an unallocated space. The
target partition should be at least the same size as the uncompressed image data.

All the data stored on the target partition will be replaced by the image data, so be careful

and watch for non-backed-up data that you might need.

2. When restoring an entire disk, the program will analyze the target disk structure to see
whether the disk is free.
If there are partitions on the target disk, you will be prompted by the confirmation window
stating that the destination disk contains partitions, perhaps with useful data.
You will have to select between:

• OK – all existing partitions will be deleted and all their data will be lost.
• Cancel – no existing partition will be deleted, discontinuing the recovery operation. You

will then have to cancel the operation or select another disk.

Note that no real changes or data destruction will be performed at this time! For now, the

program will just map out the procedure. All changes will be implemented only when you

click Proceed in the wizard’s Summary window.

6.3.6 Changing the restored partition type

When restoring a partition, you can change its type, though it is not required in most cases.
To illustrate why you might need to do this, let’s imagine that both the operating system and
data were stored on the same primary partition on a damaged disk.
If you are restoring a system partition to the new (or the same) disk and want to load the
operating system from it, you will select Active.
Seagate BlackArmor Backup automatically corrects boot information during restore of the
system partition to make it bootable even if it was not restored to the original partition (or
disk).
If you restore a system partition to another hard disk with its own partitions and OS, most
likely you will need only the data. In this case, you can restore the partition as Logical to
access the data only.
By default, the original partition type is selected.

Selecting Active for a partition without an installed operating system could prevent your
computer from booting.
